Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls.
As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination.

And don't forget to sign them up for the Imagination Library, which is Dolly Parton's free book delivery service.
They send 1 book per month until the child turns 5. 😊

If it's produced, streamed, or owned by Paramount, I'm not watching it. They don't get a view from me. They don't get a dime from me. Call it a boycott. Call it whatever you want. Colbert is the only Paramount property I'll watch until May, and after that, I'm done with them.

I don't receive SNAP or Medicaid. I won't vote for candidates who would cut them. It's better for me when school children aren't hungry, parents aren't overstressed, and hospital ERs aren't overrun with patients too poor to access health care until disease is serious and expensive.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?”
🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season.
Brilliant timing.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” incudes a retroactive provision limiting federal judges' enforcement of contempt orders. That tips the balance of powers & erodes our Constitutional system of checks and balances. Tell the Senate to vote NO! on enforcement restrictions. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social
